21 Weeks: My Life As A Simpson Character

21 weeks! I have a lot of posting to catch up on.

First, my 21 week belly pic:

Yes, friends, I am bearing a striking resemblance to Barney from the Simpsons these days. Especially at night, when I put on my pajamas and at least 5 inches of my lower gut hangs out from under my shirt because I am too cheap to invest in whale pajamas because I'd rather buy pink things for MAH BAYBEE!

Did you notice that you got a little sneaky peek at our nursery? We did paint it pink.

Like, PINK.

Like, the pinkest pink that ever pinked a pinkhole. For real.

At first, we were shocked, and were all, "Hey, did you notice that the neon pink reflects off the white ceiling and onto the hallway carpet?"

And once? I was in the room for too long, and actually passed out from the brightness, and when I woke up, I thought Mark had eaten me for dinner because we have no food in the house and I was awake in his stomach and all I could think was, IT IS REALLY BRIGHT IN HERE!

But it's grown on us, now that there are some actual things in the room to tone down the PINK. Because last night we had Christmas in October! And Mark's parents bought us our changing table, and we bought our crib! The crib is on order, but here is the changing table...it's so pretty...

The actual set is here, but we are just getting the crib, changing table, and a night stand that matches. And! And! The bedding set is here.

I feel a lot better now that we pretty much have all the big stuff. The only other big item we need is the video monitor I want, but we can swing that if need be.

How about a real 21 week belly shot?

I'm up to 9 pounds gained. All in my face, apparently. And maybe some in my big fat grandma arm.

Cute nursery!! And you look totally great! I think gaining 9 pounds puts you right on track (and if anything, on the low side of weight gain). I'm at 19 weeks today and have gained 8 pounds. And I'm trying hard not to complain about that damn back fat!

I've always worn those men's t-shirts as pajama tops. You know, the ones they sell in packages in the underwear section. I just get a men's small or x-small and they are so comfy. They still fit me now, even at thirty four weeks. Apparently they are longer than women's shirts. (Since nothing else covers my stomach, even the maternity clothes!)
